Chicago
Cast in grey scale
The City Winds as impossible to measure as
Wind Chills' Expression spans through
the Atmosphere's of time's measures.
The Lady of the Lake
has No Mercy
Her Northern Shores unrestrained by
Chicago's Boardwalk
The City's Boardwalk, Pretty as a Postcard,
offers no protection from deadly Exposure
Lake Michigan's Winter Winds pay no heed
to the scantily clad Division
that divides her shores from
Chicago's in-famous Skyline
The "Windy City's" Chill is rumored
to extend her long reach
of heavenly-Hell far beyond her borders
all the way up to 'Capital Hill'
Winter Kills
In cold blooded degrees
As Hard to differentiate as Grey-scales
City Wind Chills
Just as Winter Winds leave lasting Impressions
Death resonates beyond Time's Tides
Winter's Tempest transcends
Mercury's (mm/hg) thermal measure
Death from exposure transcends time
and place.
She resides in the very atmosphere we breath
Chicago's board...
walks in
uneasy strides
between Lake Michigan
and the City'Skyline
City buildings Rise in uneven
vertical blocks.
The night sky above
checkered in Upside Down
Elevator Shafts
The City's Streets; Concrete Corridors
lined in mirrored glass, concrete, and steel..
that stop and start in timed sequence at
Street Corner's Intersections
Signals are cast in Red, Yellow.
and Green Reflections
Inner City Expressions
Frigid Winter Winds
A Bridge Over the River Kwai
Death in degrees
Over Exposure
Winter Kills
